The Outlander PHEV was a large contributor to Mitsubishi’s sales success in 2014, accounting for 19,980 of the 38,617 Outlanders sold Europe-wide. Of these, 5,370 sold in the UK, accounting for 69% of all plug-in hybrid sales last year and almost a quarter of Mitsubishi's total sales in the country.

Clive Messenger, head of corporate sales at Mitsubishi Motors in the UK, said: 'The GX5h and GX5hs plug-in hybrid Outlanders offer such a fantastic package of benefits for both companies and company car drivers – high specification, luxury feel, low running costs, strong environmental credentials. We are expecting it to quickly populate company car choice lists UK-wide.'
